SCO is dead!

Well, they are not quite dead yet, but they've filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection -- possibly in order to stave off a judgment in their lawsuit with Novell. Doesn't sound desperate to me, either.

SCO is the company that falsely claimed that Linux developers had included SCO Intellectual Property without permission into the Linux operating system. They made a bunch of very bold and factually inaccurate claims resulting in lawsuits against IBM, Novell, RedHat, and even a few of their own customers (they sued them!).

Turns out that was a bad idea. Oh well, such is the life of a Microsoft pawn.
